Instead of picking a date and time for every single post, you can set up a weekly posting schedule - the times you normally want to post - and then drop posts into it. Flomixy also suggests the times your audience actually engages with.
Open Settings → Posting schedule.
Setting your weekly slots
The board shows the seven days of the week. Under any day, click + Slot and pick a time to add it. Click a time to change it, or the × to remove it.
You can have up to 21 slots per week. Nothing is saved until you press Save.
Every slot is a wall-clock time in the schedule's timezone, shown in the Timezone panel on the right. Changing the timezone keeps your slots reading the same - 09:00 stays 09:00 - and never moves posts you've already scheduled.
Workspace default vs. per-account
By default your slots apply to the whole workspace. If you manage several Instagram accounts and they need different rhythms, pick an account at the top of the page and give it its own schedule. An account's own schedule always wins over the workspace default.
Facebook and Threads accounts can have their own schedule too, separate from your Instagram one. On that account's Analytics page, click a time on the Best time to post heatmap and it's added straight to that account's weekly schedule - no need to switch to the Settings page.
Using the queue
Once you have slots, the composer's Schedule step offers Add to queue:
- Next free slot - Flomixy drops the post into the earliest upcoming slot that isn't already taken.
- Pick a slot - choose a specific slot yourself from the week.
Free upcoming slots also appear on the Calendar as dashed outlines, so you can see the gaps.
Best times to post
Pick one of your connected accounts - Instagram, Threads, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn or Telegram - and the Best times to post panel suggests when to publish. Suggestions are per account - different audiences, different habits. The same suggestions also appear while you choose a time in the post composer, for the account you're scheduling.
Each suggestion tells you where it came from:
- A time with an engagement figure (for example +24% engagement · 6 posts) is based on your own published posts at that time. The figure compares that slot against your account's average.
- Industry average means it's a general recommendation from published research, not your data.
Click Add next to any suggestion and it becomes a slot in your schedule right away.
Why some suggestions say "Industry average"
We work out your best times from how your own posts have actually performed. That means two honest limits:
- New accounts. Until you've published your first post, there's nothing to go on, so we show industry averages and say so. From your first post on, suggestions are based on your own history - they're rough at first and get sharper as you keep posting.
- We can only rank times you've already used. If you've never posted on a Wednesday evening, we have no way of knowing how it would do - so we won't claim it's your best time. The industry averages are there partly to suggest times worth trying.
If a suggestion is already in your schedule, its button reads In schedule.
Networks without analytics, and accounts with no posts
- LinkedIn and Telegram don't share performance numbers with us, so there is no engagement figure. Their suggestions are the times you post most often, and the panel says so - it's a reflection of your habits, not a measure of what works best.
- If a network's analytics are temporarily unavailable, you'll see the same "posted most often" ranking with a note that analytics can't be read right now.
- Threads, Facebook and TikTok are ranked from a sample of your best-performing recent posts, so a newer account's suggestions start from its first post and sharpen as you publish more.
- An account with no published posts yet shows industry averages and a note. Publish your first post and your own suggestions will appear.
